How to Change Store's Root Folder Permissions (chmod 755) for Data Migration

To change your store’s root folder permission to "chmod 755", which may be required for certain data migration processes, you'll need to connect to your server using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) application like Filezilla. Follow these steps:

1. Connect to your server via FTP.
2. Locate your store's root folder.
3. Right-click on the root folder.
4. Select "File permissions..." from the menu.

In the "Numeric value" field, enter "755". Ensure the permissions are selected as shown in the screenshot below. This configuration grants the owner read, write, and execute permissions; the group read and execute permissions; and others read and execute permissions.

Changing file permissions incorrectly can cause issues with your store. If you're unsure about any of these steps, consult with your hosting provider or a qualified server administrator before proceeding with your data migration.
